A gift set of 12 spools of Sajou Fil au Chinois Gloving threads.
The thread is a 2 ply, waxed, cotton thread, and was used in bygone days for sewing gloves. It is the perfect for applique, tambour beading and patchwork and gives a nice strong thread for all kinds of sewing projects. The threads have a beautiful sheen and will not fluff or spoil during use.
Like all Fil au Chinois threads, the Gloving thread is lightly waxed. The thread is passed through a bath of starch and bee's wax before twisting. Because the wax does not sit on the surface of the thread there is no stickiness, the threads have a nice sheen and are resistant to fraying.
The set contains;
290 (café au lait), 442 (mahogany), 361 (straw), 217 (chestnut), 535 (garnet), 501 (fuchsia), 100 (white) , 820 (pine green), 879 (emerald), 180 (black), 190 (slate) et 650 (navy blue).
This beautiful ribbon with gilded blue roses will make four bookmarks as separate gifts for father and son; both read and work with books. The ribbon is eye catching.
